The Macallan Scotch Single Malt Sherry Oak Cask 12 Year 110 Proof 750ml

The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year 110 Proof is the cask strength version of the flagship Sherry Oak 12 Year — the same exclusively Spanish Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak maturation that defines the standard 12-year expression, presented at 55% ABV (110 proof) without dilution for maximum intensity of The Macallan's sherried character.

The standard Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak is bottled at 40% — the 110 Proof version adds 15 proof points, allowing the full concentration of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and warming spice that the sherry casks produced to come through without the softening effect of dilution. For enthusiasts who find the standard 12-year's character compelling but want more intensity, the 110 Proof is the direct answer. Browse all Macallan at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 110 Proof Sherry Oak the same liquid as the standard 12 Year Sherry Oak?

The same sherry cask maturation program and base spirit — the difference is the bottling proof. At 55% ABV versus 40%, the 110 Proof delivers the same character at higher concentration without the dilution that produces the softer standard expression.

Should I add water to the 110 Proof?

A few drops will open the nose and soften the attack on the palate — the dried fruit and sherry complexity emerge more fully with slight dilution. Start neat, then experiment. The difference between the standard 40% and the 110 Proof is significant and immediately noticeable.
